To Eject a Video Cassette Tape

window-side up with the arrow
pointing away from you.

Gently push the tape through
the compartment door until you
feel the VCR pull it.
The VCR loads the tape
automatically.

Press the (Stop) button to
stop playing the tape.
-Don’t try to insert a tape upside down
or backwards.
-Use only video tapes labeled “VHS.”
European PAL VHS video tapes and
S-VHS pre-recorded tapes aren’t
compatible with this unit. Choose
brand name, high quality tapes for
best results.
-If the safety tab of your video tape
has been removed, the tape begins
to play automatically. You don’t have
to press PLAY. For more information
on the safety tab, see page 81.
When you’re finished playing a pre-
recorded video tape, it’s best to rewind it
to the beginning and remove it from the
VCR to protect it from wear and tear.
After ejecting a tape, you should remove
it completely from the compartment and
turn off the VCR.

Press the EJECT button on the
front panel to eject the tape.
